Robuildo Programmable Mobile Robot
September 2009 to July 2010
Members:Ahmed Salem, Mohamed Khaled, Ahmed Riyad, Tamer Saleh
The project aims to build a programmable gripper-equipped mobile robot with programming software that
would be of high usability through which any user can program the robot not just experts. To demonstrate our
idea we choose the application of building models with blocks, The programming software would provide
two functionalities; one enables the user to design a model through a 3D modelling program, the other
enables more experienced users to describe the desired robot function directly through simple command
scripts; In both cases the software would translate the users input into low level instructions that the robot
can execute
